How to Stake TST

NOTE: Updated Docs coming soon. Please discuss this in our Discord for now

Staking Options:

• Users can stake TST (The Standard Token) and/or USDs (The Standard's stablecoin).

• Each token type offers different reward structures.

TST Staking:

• Rewards:

  • TST stakers earn USDs fees generated from borrowing and repayment activities in Smart Vaults.

  • TST stakers also receive the full 1% fee of all collateral placed into yield earning pools across the entire protocol.

Reward Calculation:

(User's Staked TST * Days Staked) / (Total TST Staked * Current Staking Period Length)

USDs Staking:

• Rewards: USDs stakers earn various assets, primarily generated from collateral placed into yield earning pools and collateral swaps executed within Smart Vaults.

• Additional Rewards: The protocol may occasionally airdrop other reward assets to the staking reward pool.

Reward Calculation:

(User's Staked USDs * Days Staked) / (Total USDs Staked * Current Staking Period Length)

Staking Process:

1: Users connect their wallet to the staking interface.

2: They choose the amount of TST and/or USDs to stake.

3: The staking period begins immediately upon successful staking transaction.

Reward Accumulation:

• Rewards accrue in real-time based on the user's stake and the duration of staking.

• Users can view their projected rewards in the Staking dashboard at any time.

Claiming Rewards:

• Users can claim their rewards through the Staking dashboard.

• When claiming, all non-USDs reward assets are transferred directly to the user's wallet.

• For USDs rewards, users have two options:

a) Compound: USDs rewards are automatically added to the user's USDs stake.

b) Withdraw: USDs are transferred to the user's wallet along with other reward assets.

Stake Management:

Increasing Stake:

• All previously earned rewards are claimed.

• USDs rewards are automatically compounded (added to the stake).

• The staking period restarts.

Decreasing Stake:

• All previously earned rewards are claimed without compounding USDs rewards.

• The staking period restarts.

Staking Period:

• The staking period restarts whenever a user claims rewards or adjusts their stake amount.

• This reset affects future reward calculations.

No Token Burn:

No TST or USDs is burned or spent by users when earning rewards.

Security:

The new Staking contract has been audited by independent security researcher MaslarovK.

All identified vulnerabilities, both low and high risk, have been resolved.
